Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases

It is early winter now, the weather is suddenly cold and warm, with a large temperature difference between day and night. For middle-aged and elderly friends, it is not only easy to catch a cold and have a fever, but they must also pay attention to preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Because early winter is the peak season for stroke, cerebral hemorrhage and heart disease. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases have become the biggest cause of death from illness in recent years, and have also become the biggest health killer for middle-aged and elderly people.

You, as you age, your blood vessels will age day by day, such as the walls becoming thicker, harder, and losing elasticity, the lumen becoming narrower, and blood clots forming. In severe cases, blood clots may block the blood vessels or rupture and bleed. Excessive drinking, excessive eating, a fast-paced lifestyle and high stress increase the possibility of inducing various serious cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertension, coronary heart disease (including angina pectoris and acute myocardial infarction), cerebral thrombosis, cerebral hemorrhage, etc.

influenza

Influenza is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by influenza virus. The incubation period of influenza is very short, usually 1 to 2 days.

The main symptoms include upper respiratory tract symptoms such as high fever, headache, runny nose, and sore limbs. In severe cases, pneumonia may also occur.

Influenza is mainly transmitted through the respiratory tract. It is not only highly contagious but also spreads quickly. It is particularly easy to spread in collective units. There is a seasonal peak in influenza incidence every winter.

Experts suggest that when the temperature changes greatly, you should pay attention to keeping warm, add clothes in time, and strengthen physical exercise. During the influenza season, you should avoid going to public places or places with turbid air, and open windows frequently to ventilate and maintain indoor air circulation.

diarrhea

Diarrhea is an infectious diarrhea caused by a virus. The incubation period can be as short as a few hours or as long as 3 days. Patients may experience intestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and may also have fever.

The peak season for diarrhea is in late autumn and early winter. Therefore, citizens should pay attention to drinking water and food hygiene, and develop hygienic habits such as washing hands before and after meals. If similar symptoms occur, seek medical treatment promptly.

The above are some of the most common diseases that may occur in autumn. I hope that after the direct introduction, everyone will have a more comprehensive understanding. Only if we pay attention to these problems can we better prevent the invasion of these diseases and ensure our health. This is also an issue that must be paid attention to in order to do a good job in health care.
